@[email protected] @shorterperson Chuck turned me on to Jason Isdell (and the 400 Unit). You know him? Beautiful mix of storytelling, Americana, rock and roll, and capturing life in parts of the country most of the country forgets and neglects. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vd7Wlr5X6_0

@dogtrax I responded to Chuck's link with one that had a playlist of all of his songs from his latest pile. Like so much in #digciz it was teflon on the plate.
Mayhaps we shouldn't get too 'hillbilly elegy' (how I have come to hate the class treachery of that dude) here. Did you see my video of a 'blue hole' on the Green River? I long to re-visit a spot called 300 Springs. One summer when I worked for a canoe livery we took a group of paraplegic kids swimming near there. Priceless.

@tellio re: elegy. Yes. Of course, you are right. But I find that good music can open up understanding, and be an invitation into a place off our own maps. His songwriting seems to do that. Still listening. Always trying to listen. (As you do, too)

@dogtrax Good music and poetry are often the ONLY ways to open up the world. If you are looking for something ampy and anthemy, you might try this by John Vanderslice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQle1YexFFs. Rise like lions, we are many and they are few.
